The Tigers lost to UTSA, resulting in their playoff hopes being unfulfilled. Mission incomplete.

The loss to UTSA significantly impacted the University of Memphis, eliminating the Tigers’ chances of making this year’s playoffs. In my opinion, it also halted the program’s momentum. This season was crucial for the future of the program. Qualifying for the playoffs would have significantly improved the Tigers’ chances of moving to a Power Five […]

Harvest Season

October 1 is tomorrow, and I’m excited because basketball is back. It’s like how a farmer can sense the start of a new season. Farmers know when it’s time to plant crops for the new season. Some crop seasons are better than others. Every farmer hopes for a good season, but sometimes it doesn’t go […]

Talk About Them, The Grizzlies.

I guess they haven’t gotten over the dream match-up that didn’t happen, the Utah Jazz and Golden State Warriors. TV ratings would have been sky-high for Curry versus Mitchell. But the second-youngest team in the […]

Defense Set

Coach Hardaway revealed the Tiger’s new offensive last week against USF, “Lions Set.” The offense consists of much better ball movement and fewer three-point attempts.
